Abstract
The purpose of this research is to identify English reading strategies that are frequently used by Korean EFL university students as well as differences found in the use of foreign language reading strategies by gender and reading anxiety. A 30-item Survey of Reading Strategy (SORS) developed by Mokhtari and Sheorey (2002) and the 20-item Foreign Language Reading Anxiety Scale (FLRAS) developed by Saito et.al (1999) were used with descriptive statistics (means, frequencies, standard deviations, and etc.) to investigate the overall reading strategy use, reading strategy use in three categories, and the most and least used strategy items. The descriptive statistics for overall reading strategy use showed that the participants used a medium degree of reading strategy use. The current result indicates a medium use of each of the three strategy categories. Pearson’s r correlation indicated no significant correlations between reading strategy and the three categories of strategy variables and reading anxiety.
